Disabled Veteran Exemption

The disabled Veteran’s Exemption is provided for veterans who have a permanent service-connected disability of at least 60%. The amount of exemption is dependent on the degree of disability incurred:

60%-79% disabled - $12,800 assessed value

80%-99% disabled - $19,200 assessed value

100% disabled - $25,600 assessed value

The surviving spouse of a disabled veteran who was eligible for this exemption at the time of there death may also be eligible to receive the benefits of this program.
